Maintains role in central defense
Elvedi had one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Elvedi started in central defense and forced Senne Lammens into a save with a powerful first-half header from Anton Stach's delivery. The Swiss defender also recorded one interception while helping Leeds secure a point against Manchester United. He has accumulated three tackles, five interceptions and 27 clearances across his Premier League appearances this season. His defensive contributions and aerial presence continue to make him an important option in manager Daniel Farke's three-man backline.
Scores in Switzerland win
Elvedi scored as Switzerland earned a 3-0 win over Scotland at Hampden Park, according to the club.
Analysis: Elvedi capped a productive international break by finding the net against Scotland after also playing the full 90 minutes in Switzerland's 3-0 win over North Macedonia. The center-back has also established himself in the Leeds back line during Joe Rodon's absence, starting each of the last three Premier League matches. Elvedi has recorded two tackles, four interceptions and 18 clearances across four league appearances this season, and his run of starts should continue if Rodon remains sidelined.
